Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0420618A1] In the axial direction of the piston (1) the skirt (2) has an upper portion above the axis (O7) of a piston pin hole (3) and a lower portion below the axis (O7). The upper portion has a first cross section formed in accordance with a first ellipse (Y2), and the lower portion has a second cross section formed in accordance with a second ellipse (X2). Each ellipse has its foci on a center plane (O8) of the piston (1) which is perpendicular to the axis (O7) of the hole (3). The first ellipse (Y2) is smaller in ellipticity than the second ellipse (X2). The skirt (2) includes a ramp portion smoothly connecting the upper portion to the lower portion.
